I’m Britt Staudz — a multi-venture founder, ecosystem architect, and strategic growth executive dedicated to building ventures that move culture forward.

I’ve never been content with playing small. My work is rooted in the belief that business is both an art and an engine — it should be creative, scalable, visionary, and deeply human. Over the years, I’ve launched and scaled ventures across industries, each designed to do one thing: make growth sustainable and creativity inevitable.

I don’t operate as a coach or consultant on the sidelines. I step inside businesses, communities, and brands as a true partner — offering the kind of executive-level insight and creative architecture that turns bold ideas into lasting ecosystems.

The Ecosystem

• The Maven Agency — Co-founded with Jaysa Cecil, a healthcare and public-sector titan trusted with some of Virginia’s most confidential and high-profile contracts. Maven isn’t another agency; it’s a new category of business service. We embed at the partnership level, bringing C-suite capacity into organizations that are ready to scale with clarity, authority, and precision. If your business is growing faster than your systems, Maven is where you come when you’re ready to operate at the next level.

• HQ: The Growth Society — A queer-owned hub for founders and friends, HQ is a two-story haven for work, rest, and play. Nestled in the heart of Richmond with soaring ceilings and historic charm, HQ is more than coworking — it’s community architecture. We curate experiences that spark growth, from deep conversations over coffee to private happy hours with some of the city’s most influential movers and shakers. If you’re seeking connection, visibility, and a place to root your big ideas, HQ is your home away from home.

• Staudz Studio — Co-founded with my wife, Kade Stauduhar, a rising star in VFX Editing for TV & Film whose work includes impressive credits across major productions (see Kade’s IMDb). Staudz Studio blends her cinematic expertise with my vision for brand storytelling. Together, we produce visuals, campaigns, and content systems that amplify a founder’s voice and position their brand with Hollywood-level polish. If your presence needs to look as powerful as your vision, this is where we make that happen.

The Thread

Across everything I lead, the throughline is clear: I build ecosystems that scale.

• I design systems that turn complexity into clarity.

• I architect communities where connection fuels creativity.

• I shape stories that elevate founders into leaders and ideas into movements.

This isn’t traditional consulting. It isn’t coworking as usual. It isn’t just creative production.

It’s something new — a frontier of partnership, growth, and cultural impact.

And here’s the truth: if you’re a founder, creative, or leader with a bold idea, you don’t just need services. You need someone in your corner who can see the whole board, connect the pieces, and guide you into your next chapter of growth with strategy and conviction.

That’s exactly what I do.

So — whether you’re here to scale your business with Maven, find your people at HQ, or sharpen your presence through Staudz Studio — you’re in the right place.
Let’s grow something extraordinary together.
